Out here in the east coast, it's common to see a rod 'carrier' on the front grill of a truck, it's a set of PVC tubes that are held by a bracket in front of the grill. Sometimes, it's in the back of the bed closest to the back window of the cab of the truck.

Place the rods in the PVC tubes and off you go...

The larger poles used for salt water/deep see fishing are carried in this fashion since they're 15ft or longer.

In VA Beach I bought a Ram Charger from a guy that had a chromed out fishing pole/cooler carrier on the bumper.

Alright, just saw this on a flyfishing board where they were talking about canoes and how to attach them to cars. Anyway, this was an awesome idea that someone posted.

Quote:

Lift the hood of your car. Look for a series of bolts that attach the fender skin to the body.

Take a section of 1 inch wide nylon webbed strap. Fold it over and CAREFULLY cut slots near both ends. Remove a bolt from both sides of the car. Insert the bolts through the slots cut into the strap. Replace the bolts and tighten securely.

You will wind up with sturdy nylon anchor loops that can be pulled out for use, and tucked in, out of sight when not in use.

Here's some pics:

I've got both tanks mostly full. I was going to dump them into my gas hog, but have been told to put stablizer in them and leave them full?
Are you talking an inboard or and outboard? We have never used a stabilizer in our outboards.

I plan on dropping the motor down and draining the oil, to check for water(gear oil) and refilling that.
Must be an I/O. Not sure about the maintenance on those.

I don't really know how to do this "fogger" I've heard about..........just take out the spark plug and spray it in and turn it over?
Never heard of fogging an I/O, but I would bet it could be done. We used to do that with our 115, but haven't in years, and never have with our 25's.

It got its start in MN when a bunch of old boys starting using it on their boat motors. It went from there and Walmart, Napa and a lot of other outlets sell it. It will put a light coat of fine oil on the inside of the motor to prevent rust. I use it to knock out any carbon build up in engines. You suck it in through an intake, let it sit for a few hours, start the car and it smokes like a stack of tires on fire for about 5 minutes. The stuff works great. It also works well on lawn mowers that are being stored for the winter.
